Barren Path, the grindcore project featuring former Gridlink members Takafumi Matsubara and Bryan Fajardo alongside Mitchell Luna of Maruta, has just dropped a brutal new track titled “In The End… The Gift Is Death”.
This latest release is the third single from their upcoming debut album “Grieving”, which is due out October 31 via Willowtip Records. The track leans more into death metal territory than their past work, while preserving Barren Path’s signature technical intensity. The snare tone stands out as particularly punchy, helping drive the song’s relentless energy.
“In The End… The Gift Is Death” joins earlier singles “The Insufferable Weight” and “Horizonless” in showcasing the band’s chaotic yet precise style. With razor-sharp riffs, blistering drumming, and a bleak atmosphere, Barren Path seems set to deliver one of the most intense releases of the year.
Fans can pre-order “Grieving” now and prepare for an album that pushes grindcore into bold, unrelenting new territory.
